So how does one lose almost two pounds in about an hour? The non glamorous way of course! Thank you to suppositories, I am not full of crap anymore. I have been having horrible Constipation over the last week. Haven't had a bm for six days. Finally gave up and ran to walgreens to get the suppository and it worked, thank god. I guess benefiber is going to be in my daily routine.

What finally worked was the dulcolax suppository. I was taking peri colace for several days, but it didn't help. I hope it gets better for you. I know it sucks!

Is this something you should do on a day off from work? Never had this issue as I was having normal bm for the first week and 1/2 post op but I also haven't gone in about 5 days so ill probably try this. I'm afraid it will hurt lol

I did it today at like 5pm and had my bm by 6. My guts are cramping still, but not as bad as earlier. I would definitely do it when you're home and near a toilet and have lots of time. I used it as a last resort because I had so much discomfort.

Don't wait to long without going for a bm. I know from experience it can cause you a lot of pain. If I don't go in two days I take something. Last month I lost 5lbs once I finally went and it took me a couple days to finally get rid of all of it. The stool can become impacted and then there's trouble. Good luck girls.

If you don't want all the cramping my post op instructions were to use milk of magnesia as directed

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
